Yellow Squash Tart

This summer has produced a lot of yellow squash, almost more than my family can handle. So I wanted to find a new way to cook it that I knew I would enjoy. So what do I do? – I google “yellow squash tart recipes” and find Martha Stewarts Summer Squash Tart with Olives. The perfect recipe to use up my yellow squash and thoroughly enjoy the food at the same time. Point to Emily! I did change a few things from her recipe like adding some tomatoes and goat cheese on top once it was done cooking and making it with all yellow squash and no zucchini, because I really wanted to use up my yellow squash. Enjoy!
